welcome back. and last hour of the federal reserve has raised interest rates by a quarter percentage point, that's the 11th hike in 12 policy meetings. i we at the peak, is this last move in the banks aggressive move to tame inflation? give us some good news, michelle. the move to tame inflation? give us some good news, michelle.— good news, michelle. the federal reserve rose _ good news, michelle. the federal reserve rose interest _ good news, michelle. the federal reserve rose interest rates - good news, michelle. the federal reserve rose interest rates by - reserve rose interest rates by another quarter percentage points. that means we've now seen it raise its benchmark rate by five imported percentage points. since it started this campaign to try and bring down inflation. when he was pushed to answer that question, was this last rate hike or can we expect another one b for the end of the yearjerome powell the fed chair in the press conference wasn't giving anything away, he wouldn't be drawn on it.

the only thing he did say is that the federal reserve was determined to carry on its fight against inflation and said it wasn't over yet. part of the reason for that is that those inside america's central bank are worried the us economy is still growing too fast. you can blame it on everything from travel bookings to the cell of concert tickets. even the success of the barbie movie and its strong box office weekend. all of these are driving growth and the fear is that will feed through to higher inflation and that's why the federal reserve are staying rigid.— reserve are staying rigid. right. it's all about _ reserve are staying rigid. right. it's all about barbie _ reserve are staying rigid. right. it's all about barbie spending. . reserve are staying rigid. right. i it's all about barbie spending. can we talk about what sort of knock on effect that will be? the bank of england has been criticised for not going quickly enough on interest rates. it's always been in catch—up mode. do you think we're likely to see as a result of this decision more interest rates here in the uk

as well? i more interest rates here in the uk as well? ~ , as well? i think where the uk is compared to — as well? i think where the uk is compared to the _ as well? i think where the uk is compared to the where - as well? i think where the uk is compared to the where us - as well? i think where the uk is compared to the where us is i as well? i think where the uk is i compared to the where us is very different. the direction of inflation rates we've seen prices starting to moderate. it is getting closer to that 2% target that the federal reserve has built up look at what's happening in the united kingdom, the them flashing picture is still dominant prices remain elevated. you keep hearing from the bank of england that they've got more work to do on that front. interestingly enough we've heard yesterday from the international monetary fund, one of the key messages they had was things were looking betterfor messages they had was things were looking better for global growth but the big caveat was central banks around the world still had to be vigilant and continue fighting, getting inflation under control. miles taylor, as michelle suggests you are closer to the 2% that we're here in question that we have is whetherjerome powell can maintain

years. the pain of higher interest rates is much greater. i think that may be part of the difference we see on this side of the atlantic. as for the optimism, i think biden at the moment is going on this tour highlighting biden on max, his strategy of inflation reduction act which is designed to boost spending and get manufacturing going in america on certain strategic areas, particularly renewables. that's the thing he's trying to tout as policies that are working that are beginning to pay off. the other thing going into election years inflation. that something we thought republicans will be beating the democrats over the head with but at the moment if things continue moving in this direction that will be something that they biden can say thatis something that they biden can say that is not on the table for that maybe it's yet another sign our policies are working. with that gdp figures we're expecting figures, they're expecting to show moderate in the united states was up something coming from the white

mental health and welfare checks last year. that was according to police violence mapping for showing people with mental illness are 16 times more likely to be killed by police for making up 25 to 50% of victims. should police be responding to mental health call—outs? this victims. should police be responding to mental health call-outs?- to mental health call-outs? this is somethin: to mental health call-outs? this is something l _ to mental health call-outs? this is something i actually _ to mental health call-outs? this is something i actually dealt - to mental health call-outs? this is something i actually dealt with i to mental health call-outs? this is i something i actually dealt with when i was something i actually dealt with when i was at _ something i actually dealt with when i was at the department of homeland security— i was at the department of homeland security for that we talk to state and local — security for that we talk to state and local law enforcement about this and local law enforcement about this a lot _ and local law enforcement about this a lot what _ and local law enforcement about this a lot. what we found was if we added mental— a lot. what we found was if we added mental health professionals to response calls it did three things that were — response calls it did three things that were very important for that one, _ that were very important for that one. and — that were very important for that one, and help police implement de—escalation, it scenarios from getting — de—escalation, it scenarios from getting legal. two, it prevented adjacent — getting legal. two, it prevented adjacent to that use of force situation _ adjacent to that use of force situation that were unnecessary and sometimes — situation that were unnecessary and sometimes those results in death of patients _ sometimes those results in death of patients. but three, in the long run it can _ patients. but three, in the long run it can actually lead to a cost savings _ it can actually lead to a cost savings because often when it'sjust police _ savings because often when it'sjust police responding and is no mental

you are watching bbc news with some do stay with us. bbc news — bringing you different stories from across the uk. so mason and bastion are both autistic bastions currently now going through a process for adhd as well. for eight years, emma has been campaigning to get more changing places toilets built because poor facilities has often meant leaving home could be a problem. we would go out and we'd if one of the children would make a mess. we'd have to come home straightaway. when emma started her campaign in norfolk, there were just four changing places. and many in norfolk now 24. 2a at the moment. yep. and more coming. more coming. it should be 31 in the next couple of years, but still not enough. there'll never be enough until its people can go out and not have to think about going somewhere because of the changing places.

the issue of facilities for people with disabilities is a big one. and now a report has highlighted the spending power of disabled people. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. for more than three decades, kevin spacey was one of hollywoods biggest stars. an oscar for best actor in 1999, then the extraordinary success in five series of the house of cards, and that prestigious position he held for 11 years as the artistic director of the old vic. but in october 2017, at the height of his fame, and at the pinnacle of the me too movement, spacey was accused for the first time, in the united states, of sexual assault. a month later netflix cancelled his contract, as other men came forward to make similar allegations. today at suffolk crown court in london he was acquitted. he faced charges from four men range from indecent assault, sexual assault in a more serious charge of sexual acts without consent which carried a potential life sentence. after two

days of deliberation the jury cleared him of all nine counts. this was his reaction. i imagine that many of you can understand that there is a lot for me to process after what has just happened today. but i would like to say that i'm enormously grateful to the jury for having taken the time to examine all of the evidence and all of the facts, carefully, before they reached their decision. and i am humbled by the outcome today. i also want to thank the staff inside this courthouse, security and all those who took care of us every single day, my legal team, evan lowenstein and lucy for being here every day. and that's all i have to say for the moment. thank you very much.

the highest level despite being knocked out of the world cup with a game to spare. however the reigning 0lympic champions levelled just before the break before manchester united winger adriana leon scored what would prove to be the winner on 53 minutes. canada top the group with four points — but its two defeats from two for ireland. just nice to score and the results in this game. in the separate tournaments just heartbroken for the girls for that i felt like we deserve so much more for the game. elsewhere, 2011 champions japan are into the knockout stages with a game to spare. they beat costa rica 2—0 in dunedin— to make it two wins from

two from 2. 19—year—old aoba fujino with the second goal to becomejapan's youngest goal—scorer at a women's world cup. next up forjapan are spain — with top spot in the group upforgrabs. spain qualified for the last 16 after thrashing zambia 5—0 — jenni hermoso and alba redondo scoring twice. but it's back to back 5—0 defeats for zambia — and they are out. meanwhile while the world waits with baited breath as the kylian and puppies destination one footballer appears to have announced his departure to the gulf state. liverpool captain jordan departure to the gulf state. liverpool captainjordan henderson liverpool captain jordan henderson is liverpool captainjordan henderson is confirmed is leaving the club after 12 years for them in a post on social media sanderson expected to join the saudi club and team up with four team—mates and new manager stephen gerard. the new record signing jaclyn rice as he should be charged on the trophy he went start and how much a cause. also broke the record signing from west ham earlier this summerfor the price is he can't wait to get started, especially during the first taste of the champions league. it’s especially during the first taste of the champions league.—

didn't know enough about sports ownership. but what we did know about was having a really deep connection with the club. just because i grew up loving, i know what it means to be in love with your community club. to cricket and england have named an unchanged side for the fifth and final ashes test — which gets under way tomorrow at the 0val. that meansjimmy anderson keeps his place as part of the bowling attack — despite only taking four wickets in the entire series. captain, ben stokes, defending the 40—year—olds inclusion, adding thatjoe roots place wouldn't be questioned if he hadn't scored the runs he would have wanted to. he has not probably had the impact and the wickets he would have liked in the series. he is a quality bowler and performer. 0bviouslyjimmy has come under a bit of flak for that but ifjoe hadn't scored the runs he would have liked to, you wouldn't be questioning him about staying in the team as a batter.

we have james anderson, the greatest fast bowler to play the game, and he is looking as good as he was two years ago although he hasn't had the impact he would have liked to in this series. it's a year to go until the paris 0lympics — and some of great britain's athletes will head to the french capital in confident mood, according to analysis released today. the gracenote forecast — a model which uses data from previous 0lympics has predicted team gb will win ten individual gold medals at the games, including one for teenager skateboarder sky brown. the analysis projected team gb will win 62 medals in total — leaving them fourth in the medal table behind france, china and the us. and that's all the sport for now. hello. wednesday did bring us a bit of blue sky and sunshine, particularly for many northern and eastern parts of the uk.

but really, july 2023 is turning out to be a pretty soggy month for much of the uk. and there's more rain overnight tonight, moving from west to east. quite a humid feel to the weather tonight certainly compared to recent nights. here is that area of rain through this evening, then across scotland, central and eastern parts of england, slowly moving northwards and eastward. so something a little bit clearer for northern ireland, perhaps during the early hours of thursday, pushing in across western parts of britain, too. but a lot of low cloud, humid air with us, so temperatures staying in the mid—teens for most of us. a little bit cooler for the north of scotland, down into single figures up towards the northern isles. but we start thursday then under the influence of this area of low pressure. it sits well to the northwest, but these trailing weather fronts will be slow—moving across parts of scotland, initially close to southern england, as well. so i think rain easing away from the south, but perhaps persisting for the channel islands. the northeast of scotland will keep patchy rain all day. elsewhere, murky, low cloud, drizzle around through the morning, but brightening up gradually, so some sunny spells for the afternoon and a few showers around, too.

some sunshine perhaps for northern ireland into parts of northern england and wales. temperatures 16—24 for most of us, again, a little cooler for the northern isles, but it is, of course, the first day of the fifth and final test in the men's ashes at the 0val — lots of cloud around there in general. could be a passing afternoon sharp shower, i think, but not persistent rains, so there should be plenty of play, as there should be as we head into friday, as well. now, overnight, then, into friday, most of the showers fade away, mostly dry, just some rain lingering up towards the northern isles. but again, it's a humid night, so temperatures for most of us sitting in the mid—teens. that's how we start friday morning, some sunshine from the word go. it will be the better day, i think, of thursday and friday. so, yes, it's still a few showers, but more sunshine around, and the showers will move through fairly quickly. top temperatures, a little bit warmer than recent days, 18—24 celsius. still a bit colder than that, though, for lerwick, sitting there atjust 15. into the weekend, low pressure drifts eastwards across the northern half of the uk, plenty of showers wrapped around the area of low pressure.

we've got another one actually waiting out in the wings, as well. so an unsettled picture, fairly blustery weekend, showers around, a bit drier in the south perhaps on sunday. nothing really drier and warmer, though, till the second week of august. bye— bye.

tonight at ten — one of the worst miscarriages ofjustice for decades. a man who spent 17 years in jail for a rape he did not commit is cleared by the court of appeal. 0n 2nd august 2003, i was kidnapped by the state.
